That really bothers me, when I see a little girl with her hair all over her head. If you're going to have children with black american males, you should at least learn how to fix your childs hair. It just makes you want to get a comb and brush and hook that child up, so they can look civil.

The mothers may not know that they have to properly grease the child's hair and not wash it all the time. My best friend has a bi-racial daughter, and when I started taking care of her, I had to learn how to properly care for her hair.
Sometimes the parents buy the wrong products too. I know a girl at my son's school whose hair is very brittle and dry looking. Her mom greases it but I think it needs some sort of extra deep conditioner as well.
The hospital doesn't give out manuals for "Proper Hair Care of Your Bi-Racial Child". They should though!

I dont think this is a question that should be geared to all caucasian mothers of bi-racial children. But I do see this often. In fact, my sister is one of those mothers. She never fixes her daughter's hair, it is constantly in a disarrayed afro. When she does finally fix the baby's hair, she'll keep it that way for days, even when it gets loose and starts looking messy. Its not really a black thing, a white thing, its a lazy mother who doesn't care how her kids look thing.

Are you kidding or are you just racist!!!? Just because ethnic hair doesn't "look civil" or acceptable to you does not make it wrong. Furthermore, my father in law is a physician and he always recommends to his african american or bi-racial patient's parents to refrain from combing or pulling too much on their hair. Children's skin is very snesitive, and certain ethnic hair (black/ bi-racial) can be very delicate at a young age... People who braid or "do" their kids' hair too much when they're before the age of 4-5 constantly complain of bumps, rashes, hair loss, balding or thinning... SO... before you go criticizing other people's parenting: do some research or have the guts to ask them to their faces!!!

That's not a problem that is just restricted to white women with bi-racial children. A lot of parents, no matter what race or cultural background, don't fix their children's hair or worry about the condition and cleanliness of their clothes.

Perhaps you should word your question as why do "some" caucasian mother not do their bi-racial kids hair....cause my daughter doesnt leave the house without her hair being done...and she is 2!!!
I searched for a year for a product to use on my daughters hair as we have no products for my daughters hair in Australia (she is African-American/Native American/Australian) but even when I didnt have the correct products I would do my best and always have her hair in braids, ponytails or someother way.
Curly Q products all they way!!!

I know several white women with bi-racial children that do their hair *properly*. It looks absolutely lovely and those women can braid corn rows just as well as their black counterparts. Some women don't learn, but these did. They love their husbands and want their kids to be of both cultures. It probably helps to have welcoming sisters in law to teach them.

First of all!!! NOT ALL BI-RACIAL CHILDREN walk around looking crazy!!! My daughter's hair stays done! My son's hair stays faded and tight!!
And for Mr. Wizard.... THAT problem. Neither of my children are a problem, and in case you haven't noticed...... Mixed race people are now the MAJORITY!!!! I have 2 bi-racial children that are loved by both sides of the families, and people that are not even in our families. Come out of the dark ages!
And there are SOME mothers that let their children walk around crazy as all get out. But not all of us. Please understand that!!!
And there are some black mothers out there that don't do their children's hair either.

thats easy. The texture is different. white women are use to just easy and very free hair.per say. when they have a bi-racial child some children are born with "white people hair" and some are born with "black people hair" and some are juss born with NAPPY HAIR! The woman doenst have to read books or do research on how to fix her childs hair. Just figure out the texture,if its nappy,perm or flat iron it. or take her to the beauty shop.and let her pick her style as long as its age apporpriate. SO IN CONCLUSION. they dont know how to do their childs hair because they arent use to the diffent texture of hair!

I agree. If your gonna be with a black male, then be prepared for all situations that arise from having a bi-racial child, hair etc. Theres nodthing worse than seeing a child with his/her hair all over her head with a caucasian mother -- it lookss ridiculous.

Personally I see children of all different races looking like little rag muffins I do not think it is a race thing I think it is a lazy thing. I always try to make sure my daughter looks put together before we leave the house, because it is a reflection on me. There are times when she wakes up from a nap and I have to race somewhere and I do not have a choice but for the most part I like to make sure she looks cute.
